History
Located on the estate that
bears its name, this Resort is accessed by the Avileses to
Sucina Road. It features a noble, late 19th Century
colonial-style building, which was the retreat of the
Riquelme family. The Riquelme´s were the descendants of
Guillén Riquelme, a noble knight who accompanied King
Alfonso X the Learned on his conquest of Murcia.
Affixed to the facade of this palace-house, his coat of arms
displays the ornamental figures that identify and
distinguish the noble family to which he belonged, and the
other which he joined by marriage. The helm and crest of its
minor shield over a field and a large barracks represent the
distinguished warrior to whom they belonged.
A carriage roadway that ran through a beautiful palm grove
provided access to the spacious central courtyard, which was
lined with buildings devoted to the maintenance of the
Riquelme Estate and services for its noble residents.
Fountains of musical fresh waters, galleries of arches
supported by open columns like those of a monastic cloister,
a fortified tower of permeable walls, a beautiful palm
grove, large windows from which to lean out and look at
endless landscapes, are the elements that made this estate a
place for rest and enjoyment. The Riquelme family was noted
for the patronage of the arts they practiced over many
generations. One of the artists they patronized was the
famous Murcian sculptor Francisco Salzillo. The museum in
Murcia that bears his name is home to many of his works of
art, such as the world famous nativity scene commissioned by
Jesualdo Riquelme y Fontes for his Murcia Palace. Another
patronized artist circa 1603 was sculptor Cristóbal de
Salazar, who created the marble sepulchres for the great
Riquelme chapel in the San Francisco de Murcia Convent. |
